I suspect where I am in Southwest Florida, we'll probably be on
the far tail end of this kind of thing. Our vegetable / fruit
farms are dominated by illegal immigrants by necessity and
profit margins are very low for those companies. So, it probably
depends on city whether it's feasible or not but I'm sure local
governments are watching Seattle's test bed situation VERY
closely to make decisions for their local business owners. ==
Well, when I say "test bed" - I don't mean that Seattle is
testing it. I mean that it's an example now. Other equivalent
cities are undoubtedly watching closely to make decisions for
their local communities. == Well, it's symbolic for the rest of
the country. $15 is a nice number to see. But for strong
arguments for it, it's important that you see where the
detractors are correct. You already know where they're wrong,
but knowing where they're correct - and where the people
fighting for it are incorrect, will make a stronger argument for
your case.
